Dow Jones at an all time high

[talisman]

That's great but you are going to have a damn hard time finding a way to "buy anything Low" right now to eventually "sell high" later. All you can do at this point, unless you are heavily into A+ Muni bonds, is to lose. Pull your value, sit on the cash or tangible asset, and wait for the SHTF. Then start your cycle again like you have. Riding this train any longer, especially past May 1st is a losing situation. The market has plateau'd and is ripe for a crash due to WAY TOO MANY factors. Don't ride it down and end up negative at the end of the year. 2008/2009 should have taught people something but apparently didn't given the news hype.

That's all fine if you're day trading and lose your house because you make one bad pick. I've got over 20 years before I cash out, it can easily survive a few hits and will always bounce back, especially the sector I am heavily invested in. That's the nice thing about having long term holdings.

Genuflect to aggie97.

I'll be honest, I had to google that one...

Careful. Make fun of the bullet and he shall appear.

All that inflation has to go somewhere. It's not going to hit the streets. Most of it hasn't.

Don't worry, if it starts a downward spiral, they'll just increase the flow on the economy's life support. The massive money velocity you're seeing will likely either stay in the market or get hoarded away above our ranks.

God, please no!

Money velocity is virtually non existent right now?

Oh, it is. I'm just talking about what they're watching in the markets. It's not like all the stocks in the market increase in value, then everyone sells off and lives the life of high luxury.

No, the money running around outside the market is moving very rapidly today. I see it through government spending. I'm just saying that the crap we're seeing on the ticker isn't leaving the market, so what's the point. If anything, Joe-Shmo is going to dump some of his money from "the streets" into "the street" and get it sucked into the massive black hole.

Oh, we will definitely feel it when the Fed dumps its trillions of us bonds. We will have some serious inflation once that bond bubble collapses; it'll be a shit show.

if you have wealth or assets of any kind....you best damn well protect it the best you can and leaving it in the stock market is the WORST place for it.

Already colored!?

When you are paying $10 for a loaf of bread, I want you to think of your president. That day is coming a lot sooner than you think thanks to him. The only other option is a huge financial crisis.

As for the market, it is just a game in which people are incredibly short sighted. If you are investing on a timeline that goes on for decades, hell you can't wait for a collapse. We are overdue for a correction, in my opinion we will probably sell off in May just like we have for the last few years. Bring it on!

we make our own bread, and grow our own vegetables, what ya got next Mrs. Raetheon?
